Accompaniment in technology policy and data governance through training, program design, and strategic support for people and communities across the world.
OUR APPROACH
〰️
OUR APPROACH 〰️
African-centered
We start with African contexts, as we believe we are builders and innovators. Our work is shaped by the people and political realities on the ground.
Accessible by design
Complex technology and policy questions should be legible to the communities most affected by them. We translate by recognising your knowledge, our knowledge and sector expertise.
Long-term accompaniment
We walk alongside partners through implementation, setbacks, and iteration based on the tasks at hand.
Standards
We help organisations engage with technology standards — from AI governance to content moderation benchmarks — in ways that reflect African realities.

Strategies
We co-design technology adoption and governance strategies — helping organisations move from understanding the landscape to acting within it.
Research
We track open technology advancements and translate them into insights that African practitioners and policymakers can actually use.
Community
Through Africa Tech Cafe and Poligital, we build the practitioner networks and knowledge flows that make the harder institutional work sustainable.
